It’s one thing to have differing views, but I’ve seen enough attempted reddit migrations to be relieved that the popular communities in the fediverse so far haven’t been about crazy racist stuff or other extreme right bullshit.
I am also glad that I’m getting away from reddit’s general political shitposting, which was more left leaning. You couldn’t have any proper discourse on there, and even I with my generally more left leaning views recognized that.
I have no desire to have fascists exist on this platform “out of sight” any more than I have any desire to have a festering pile of dogshit swept under my rug instead of properly cleaned up.
If someone was planning to kill your family on an instance, would you just “block and be done with it?” What if it was anyone who looked like you, spoke your language? That’s what needs to be eliminated; threats to innocent people that you’ve decided just aren’t worth your time.
‘When there is nothing to complain about just make up an enemy’
Whatever enemy you’re projecting doesn’t exist except in your head.
